Fear and Loathing is the fifth Data Pack in the Spin Cycle for Android: Netrunner. The futuristic world of Android: Netrunner is one of vertiginous discrepancies between achievement and poverty. The megacorps that have redefined humanity with the development of custom genetics, bioroid manufacturing, and mind-machine interfacting are at least partially responsible for stabilizing social policies that mire countless masses in overcrowded, unsanitary living conditions. In the shadows of the megacorporations’ towering corporate headquarters, the vast majority experience mundane desperations, fear for their jobs, loathe their limited social status, and fight a daily war for survival.

The sixty new cards of Fear and Loathing (three copies each of twenty individual cards) translate this dichotomous existence to your games of Android: Netrunner. On the one hand, you have powerful and exploitive business entities like GRNDL, a subsidiary of the Weyland Consortium, and on the other, you have the beaten down and fearful masses. But there are other categories, too, and while many people may be driven to silence, the game’s Runners and other spirited individuals, like the investigative reporter Tallie Perrault, are driven to action.

Android Netrunner: is a two-player Living Card Game™ set in a dystopian, cyberpunk future where monolithic megacorps own and control the vast majority of human interests. While corporation players try to score points by advancing their agendas, they have to guard their intellectual properties from the elite and subversive hackers known as netrunners.

Just how dark can a corporation become before it suffers the backlash? Opening Moves kicks off the second cycle of Data Packs for Android: Netrunner The Card Game with a focus on bad publicity, good PR, and daring new gambits for players to undertake in their continued cyberstruggles. Its sixty cards (three copies each of twenty different cards) allow Corps and Runners to explore a wide range of innovative, new (and sometimes dirty) tactics as they battle for the control of highly valuable data!

You have the meat world. There, Corps are massive conglomerations, comprised of thousands of individuals, all housed in towers of glass, steel, and plascrete, and Runners are like all other mortals, needing to eat and breathe and sleep. Then, you have the virtual world where Corps are massive, hulking fortresses, with layers and layers of ice, and Runners may crack them open with keys, black holes, or solar flares. Finally, you have a third, equally important reality: the realm of public perception.

In True Colors, the fourth Data Pack in the Spin Cycle, the Corps and Runners of Android: Netrunner struggle to control the flow of information in three realities – the physical world, the virtual world, and the world of public perception. Sixty new cards reinforce each faction’s core strengths and add layers upon layers of bluffs and deception. With a host of cards to manipulate tags and bad publicity, True Colors brings the game’s high stakes cybercrime more fully into the public eye than ever before. Can you separate the truth from the spin?
